Respect

After the game p;ayed tonight in Appy I think the Norton Raiders should get some well deserved respect. It seems as if they have never gotten what they deserved. I say great game Raiders and keep up the hard work. You deserve to have a great season keep your heads up..!!!

I've been on this board 10 years, and I've yet to see anyone not give them respect, so what are you talking about?

Compared to whom? You are saying Norton haas been as respected on this board in the last few years as Appy and PV?

Your opinion

**imported_Sportsman** · September 1st, 2006, 11:34 PM

Yes, give me some examples of when they haven't.

They've been to the state championship two years in a row, and they have been praised lots on this forum.

How could they not "have respect" ? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I don't understand your post at all. Two time state runner up and they don't get respect?
We may kid around but folks on here. Well most know their sports and most know Burton has the speed to beat anyone.
Myself i knew they would have 4-5 great years with the talent they had on their JV team a couple of years ago.
Respect is earned. Burton has earned theirs.
This is a sports forum. Your not gonna hear a lot of people praising a team that is winning.
Think about it. Everyone pulls for the under dog.
Be glad Burton is winning. It beats going through the pains of rebuilding.
Respect is earned not given away. And it's harder to keep once you earn it.

There was actually a couple of other incarnations of this board before the one we're registered on now. This is just the latest format. I had over 1000 posts on the old board.
